  5. Pointing to Randolph Jefferson, we have evidence he was at Monticello nine months before Sally gave birth to Eston—the DNA match. We got evidence that he used to go party and socialize with the slaves late at night… What was the most important evidence pointing to Randolph and not Thomas? He said, “Look, the DNA match was to a male child, EstonHemings. Randolph Jefferson had six male children with two wives. Thomas Jefferson had all female children, except for an infant who died. Who is more likely to father a male child, Randolph or Thomas?” I thought that was a brilliant point. David A. Maurer, “In Defense of a Reputation,” Daily Progress, January 18, 2010.
